Pamela Anderson and Montell Jordan made star appearances at Emirates Palace to help promote the UAE Branch of the Make-a-Wish Foundation.‘I am especially excited to be here to raise money for the Make-a-Wish organization, an organization that I have long admired and I have always enjoyed helping them raise money in the past’, said Pamela Anderson.

Mr. Jordan agreed, ‘It is an honour and a privilege to be involved with the Make-a-Wish Foundation as a musical ambassador for the USA. I am inspired by the children of the UAE and what this foundation represents’.

The festivities didn’t cease there, Montell Jordan and Pamela Anderson also attended Friday night’s Make-a-Wish Foundation celebrity football match which took place on the western grounds of Emirates Palace.

Saturday night saw Embassy Abu Dhabi’s gala evening with the stars. Montell Jordan performed many of his popular hit songs and a dinner with Ms. Anderson was auctioned off for the princely sum of AED 230,000, along with many other magnificent auction items, such as a very special painting from one of the Make-a-Wish Foundation Children was sold for AED 32,000.

Kempinski’s Emirates Palace and Embassy Abu Dhabi are equally honored to be involved with the special cause. ‘Charity work is highly important to the Kempinski Hotel Group, and we aspire to assist where ever possible, Make-a-Wish Foundation is such an important aid organization in this region, and their work is inspirational making lives of the UAE’s very special children a little brighter,’ said Hans Olbertz, General Manager Emirates Palace.
